The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 165,000 new jobs in October, led by professional and business services (+70,000), health care (+42,000), transportation and warehousing (+25,000) and manufacturing (+19,000). Average hourly earnings reached $38.00, up 3.1% from a year earlier. The 2-year Treasury yield, which is most sensitive to Fed expectations, ended near 4.52%. A strong labor market gives Fed Chair Kevin Warsh room to keep tightening if inflation doesn’t cool.

The midterm results drove a whipsaw week: a 3% Dow rally on Wednesday, then Thursday’s AI-chip crash that put the Nasdaq into correction. For the week, Micron fell about 22%, Intel 17.7% and Nvidia 10.7%, while AppLovin soared 61.6% and Moderna 15.3%. Full recap: week in review, Nov. 2–6.
What it means for your money
- 401(k) and IRA: an S&P 500 index fund lost about 3.3% this week but is still up roughly 7% in 2026.
- Savers: higher yields keep money-market and Treasury rates attractive if the Fed hikes.
- Borrowers: a December hike would keep credit-card and adjustable rates elevated.
- Colombia exposure: EC ($15.55) and CIB ($92.37) were flat; see the Colombia close.

Inside the jobs report
| Sector | October jobs |
|---|---|
| Professional and business services | +70,000 |
| Health care | +42,000 |
| Transportation and warehousing | +25,000 |
| Manufacturing | +19,000 |
| Construction, retail, leisure, government | Little changed |
Average hourly earnings hit $38.00, up 3.1% from a year earlier. The broad-based gains and upward revisions suggest September’s weak 29,000 print was an outlier, not the start of a slowdown.
What it means for rates, mortgages and savings
- Fed: more than 65% odds of a Dec. 9 hike; Tuesday’s CPI is the next test.
- Mortgages: rates track the 10-year Treasury, near 4.86%, so a hotter rate outlook can keep them elevated.
- Savings: money-market and high-yield savings rates tend to stay higher when the Fed tightens.
- Stocks: a strong economy supports earnings, but higher rates pressure valuations, especially in tech.
